Collaborative Projects

In 2004 Yarmouth Arts organized a public art committee to explore acquiring art for the newly renovated Yarmouth High School. Edgar Allen Beam organized "the mother of all art shows" for the grand opening of the school and Yarmouth Performing Arts Center.

This show included the work of three Yarmouth artists, Carol Bass, Grace DeGennaro, and Margaret Lawrence, all mothers of YHS students or graduates.

Three paintings from that show were acquired to hang permanently in the school library.

In 2005 Mark Wethli, artist and professor of art at Bowdoin College spent the fall working with three high school art classes doing intensive color mixing and design exercises to create collages. Mark then used some of this imagery to create a large mural which he painted overhead near the entrance to the auditorium.
